Bloc has a new home for 2012 - it’s the London Pleasure Gardens, in the Royal Victoria Docks. Set by the water’s edge, overlooked by the monolithic post-industrial derelict buildings of Britain’s former glory, the Pleasure Gardens will provide Bloc with a home like no other.

On top of this, MS Stubnitz, a deep-sea fishing vessel that belonged to the German Democratic Republic before the collapse of Communism is being brought to London for the first time. She is 80 metres in length and weighs 2,541tonnes. A team of forward-thinking artists and engineers have converted it into a moving platform for the sonic and visual arts. It’s about to become the most exciting venue Bloc have ever used.

If you're having any doubts whether the location will fit the music, check the ridiculous line up below - it's varied but with an aligned taste for quality. You'd be silly to miss this!
